The trip to South America was a quick one, and finding Edward was easier than ever. He wasn't very good at covering his tracks, and Victoria and I found him within minutes of arriving in town.

He was close by, in the jungle, doing God-knows-what. Heh. God. As if I still had a soul anyways.

I ran in his direction, Victoria falling behind as I picked up speed. She couldn't catch up with a newborn. I smirked. It would be too easy for me to tear Edward apart with my bare hands.

When I finally found him, standing in a South-American version of my meadow, I came to a full-stop, and my non-existent breath was taken away by the vision.

He was more beautiful than ever, his wild copper hair flying in the wind, his golden eyes twinkling as he saw me, his skin glittering in the sunlight…

He shook his head slowly, amazed at seeing me in this form. "B-Bella!! What… what are you doing here? How are you a… How did you-"

"Shut up," I said silently. I was about 20 meters away from him, and in a leap, I was right in front of him. I stared up into his eyes, seeing more detail than I ever had as a human, seeing his soul through his eyes.

I raised a hand, not saying a word, and touched his cheek. I closed my eyes, and let him kiss me, feeling him put down the thousands of restraints he had put on his strength, kissing him with all his mind, body and soul. I kissed him back, unable to stop myself. Unable to be mad at him.

Suddenly, I heard Victoria scream in rage. "Bella! How dare you? I turned you so you would kill him, not so you would fall in love with him all over again!" I jumped away from a slightly dazed Edward.

"Edward…" I whispered. He stared at me, uncomprehending.

"Why? Why did you leave me?" I asked, my eyes tingling. His eyes widened.

"I- I had to! It was the only way to protect you, and I-" He fell silent as he realized what he hadn't managed to protect me from. "I'm so sorry…" he whispered, starting to walk towards me.

"No! Don't come closer. I don't care why you did it, you told me you didn't love me, and so that's the way it is, now. I came here to destroy you, not to be with you, you bastard!" I yelled.

His eyes widened, and he whispered, "Bella!"

I jumped at him, punching him everywhere I could, and he didn't defend himself. He let me beat him down to the ground, weakening by the second. I was about to start tearing things out when Victoria's shrill scream tore me back to the surrounding reality.

The Cullens, with Alice in the lead, tore into the meadow, jumping on me one by one.

I ran away, catching up with Victoria. "What the hell, Victoria? I thought he was alone!"

"I thought so as well, you stupid girl! Why didn't you finish him earlier?" she yelled back.

I sighed. "Whatever. Didn't you say we had to go to Italy?"

She shrugged. "Yeah, I guess so. I wanted to finish Edward off, but since you can't even do that as a newborn, I guess we should go to the Volturi. Italy, here we come!" she said, grinning.

I smirked and shook my head. Idiot.
